Wrote this little poem with the following in mind:

Everyone’s fighting their own battles. Some battles are apparent, but often, the invisible ones are those related to mental health.

As we commemorate World Mental Health Day, it reminds me that we’re fortunate to live in a time where employees can discuss mental health, and where work environments are using good work-life balance and mental health benefits as means to attract talent.

These are ways in which we can show compassion to our employees. It's a reminder to treat each other with kindness.

More so, it's a reminder that whatever battles you may have, you are not alone. 🤗

Would love to know your thoughts below!

Guess this makes me a "Childless Duck Lady."

Research, make an educated choice and think about the kind of future you want, not only for you, but for the generations after you...

(1/2): Had such an interesting discussion with you about post on Menstrual Leave that I decided to share them here. Points discussed:

💢 Points and counters introducing Menstrual Leave (had lots of different views here)! 💜

💢 Practical considerations i.e. preventing people from taking advantage, etc.

💢 How this is enforced in Zambia

Have some more thoughts on this? Let me know below!

Hello, everyone! I'm back (well, only partially).😊 As some of you know, I've recently immigrated and have had to take time off.

What that's meant is quitting my job in SA and temporarily assuming the role I've always rejected for myself, the role of a "homemaker." And boy has it taught me a lot!

I have a newfound respect for women and men who choose to do the homemaker role, and I want you to know I see your value and your worth. 🩶

Having said that, this piece resonated very deeply with me. Growing up in a community where there was an emphasis on girls to keep the home clean, I feel it's important to remind both women and men about this. Because you are more than linking your self-worth to how clean your home is 🤗

Have you had any thoughts on this? Let me know below 💕

2022 - The Year of DISCOVERY

DISCOVERING that life is short, but also that I can show gratitude to people while they're alive

DISCOVERING that the people I idolized were fallible (including many celebs I met 😉), but also that I'm fallible too

DISCOVERING that life is relentless with undiscovered trauma and challenges, but also that I can get through them

DISCOVERING who my true friends and family are, and overwhlemed by all the love and support this year

DISCOVERING an appreciation of my hometown, but also that I can make a new town my home

DISCOVERING I'd need to say goodbye to people I love, but also discovering new people I've come to love and appreciate

DISCOVERING that I can become domesticated (who knew 😳), but also that it doesn't have to be oppressive 🙂

DISCOVERING natural beauty and birds I never knew existed, and in that rediscovering my adventurous spirit

DISCOVERING that my passions are talents, but also that REST is sometimes more important than passions

DISCOVERING more of who I am, and rediscovering my heritage (new family, masala chai etc.), where I came from and who I want to be

DISCOVERING that when you bid farewell to some things, it also makes space for new good things to come into your life

2022, you were the most CHALLENGING year of my life, but along with the challenges, you provided many adventures and, most importantly, the gift of SELF-DISCOVERY. 🍁

Wishing you all a new year filled with love, health, and happiness
